SYRUP FROM BOX ELDERS THEY ABE SAID TO BE RE LATED TO THE MAPLE, The Box Elders Throw Off a 8pray of a Sticky Substance Which Is 'Very Sweet to the Taste, and Many Have Observed It for the first Time this Year. Recently as the writer was stand ing near by a box cider treo ho no tl"ed what seemed to be a mist fal ling. As the .sky was partly cloudy lie thought a light drizzling rain had .started. But on passing to the west Of the tree nothing of the kind was visible. .The wind, what little there was, was blowing from that dlrec tion. This looked rather peculiar, but as there was a possibility that the falling substance might be dust pcrticles, started from the treo by the breeze, nothing more was thought of it at the time. A few evenings after, a buggy wMfch had been washed preparatory to receiving a coat of paint, was put rjider the tree so as to be in the Bhade next day, while the work was being done. But when the amateur painter started in on what he ex pected would be one of the finest jobs of painting ever done ,in the state of Oregon, he found that some other painter had been ahead of him It was not a good job, either. The vehicle looked as though five million ol flies had roosted on it over night, As the buggy had been placed there late in the evening, when flies had settled for the night, and it was too early for them to be about in the morning, and as there were as yet only a few dozen of flies on the -THE- Time is Here TO TAKE f&SBitters It is a gentle system tonic and a correction for the numerous summer ailments. TALLMAN & GO. WE LEADING DRUGGISTS AND STATIONERS ptcmises, it was plain the work could not bo laid on the flies. Before applying the paint it was necessary to respongo the rig, tho sticky Btuft coming off readily. Tho amateur then applied himself dllli gently to the task and was laboring away strenuously toward the close of the day, when ho noticed the same phenomenon that had attracted his attention til day before. In fact, it 30hied more strange than before, for there was not a cloud to be seen any where, and only a light breeze from tho west Tho falling moisture was slightly more dense than when first seen. That it was moisture falling ihere could bo no doubt this time. And it was falling from the tree, the leaves of which, when applied to to the tongue, had a sweet Byrup Ilko taste. Tho box elder is a spe cies of, maple. Whether the Eweet moisture collected on the leaves as dew or whether the leaves ex uded it, is a question some one bet ter posted than the writer may be able to answer. Tho writer has never seen anything like this in this country before, and only once any thing like it in any other country. While on a visit to Western Penn sylvania In 1875, a sticky substance in globule form collected on tho large chestnut trees which abound in that section. As the chestnut tree Is- not even remotely related to the maple, tho same theory of the box elder's relationship cannot apply: In stead of the matter falling in a spray from the chestnuts, as from the box elders, it fell in largo drops after ac cumulating on the leaves. The na tives called it honey dew. Fined Them $25 Apiece. Dick and Mike Pierce were yester day tried In Judge Fltz Gerald's court on the charge of larceny and were fined $25 each, which was paid. These are the young men arraigned Monday on the charge of taking a sack of wheat, sack of shorts, sack of potatoes, half a crate of strawber ries and half a crate of cherries from Thomas Bergevin'a wagon on the reservation. Don't Forget Dates. On June 29, July 2, 3 and 4, the 0. It. & N. will sell tickets to Minne apolis and return and to Missouri river points and return at the extra ordinary low rate of $44.50. It's a chance of a llfetlmo to go "back east" at a trifling cost. Chicago and return on above dates, $64.60. Fourth of July Excursion Rates. The O. R. & N. Company has made an excursion rate of one and one third fare for round trips between all stations on its system, not to exceed 200 miles apart, for Fourth of July excursions. Tickets will be sold at these rates on July 3 and 4 and are good returning until July 6.
